Synopsis

François ( Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu ) is a man of his time, always absent, without stop at war. These times spent on the meadow to slaughter, burn, rape, have reduced this spirit to bits. Arrested by the British in 1346 at the Battle of Crécy and released after five years, he returned bruised and disillusioned.

Beatrice ( Julie Delpy ), in a castle punctuated by a heavy boredom, looks forward to the return of this father whom she longs to know, but who, during her absence, has made a violent agreement with the Devil.
